Broken glass
Broken glass
There are large amounts of broken glass in the road in the area around Harold and Alice street (which is between 8th/9th and Dunn/grant) I tried my best to avoid it today but some glass punctured my front tire and tube. Broken glass seems to be very prevalent in the areas with IU students.
Pothole. Hard to see. Bad for bikes.
I am a parent of a student living at Union Street Center Apartments. I have been observing this area for some time and feel there is a safety risk for pedestrians crossing from a parking lot to the Apartments. I have addressed this with the University and they said this had been passed on to Bloomington official and I never heard back from the city. They said its not their property and the City of Bloomington would need to address. I have tried emailing another official and again have not heard back. The issue is N. Union Street needs 2 Crosswalks at each end of the parking lot, with Yellow Flashing Warning Signs in each direction. In addition, the lighting is poor in that area, again increasing the risk at night. The Risk Analysis would show there is a high risk of Severity, Frequency, and Probability for an accident in this area. Cars traveling from 10th street to 3rd as a cut through are traveling down hill and pick momentum or speed. I would be happy to discuss this issue with anyone who will listen, so we all fully understand the issue.
S Landmark Ave is dangerous to cross in the middle of the S curve, where most workers and clients need to cross. The mailboxes for the businesses on the west side of the street are located on the east side of the road. The nearest crosswalks are located at the intersections with Bloomfield and 3rd street, which is not a reasonable distance. Please consider adding a crosswalk, preferably with a button for blinking lights. Thank you!
E 3rd St and E Morningside Dr or E 3rd Street: A crosswalk is needed at this location, as students must jaywalk to take a bus(E Hagan Street), creating a hazardous situation. Could you please consider installing a crosswalk here?
My son is a bicycle commuter to North HS. We were thrilled last week that the bypass bike lanes were cleared. However, this morning the path was completely covered. He was disappointed and late for school, of course. We'll use an alternate route tomorrow, but wanted to alert the city to the fact that it appears INDOT tossed the snow onto the path.
Neglected sidewalk. Vegetation and debris make it a tightrope walk.
There are two fairly large holes in the Washington Street bike lane between 8th and 9th streets.
There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.
